River's Bend

This image was taken close to the site of our first camp on our week long backpacking loop trip into the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in northeastern Oregon. At the far end of a large meadow, Eagle Creek made a complete bend and standing at waters edge I had an excellent vantage point to take this image of the last rays of light at sunset. The Eagle Cap Wilderness area is far less visited than some of the more iconic sites in Oregon and at over 300,000 acres offers many beautiful vistas, several peaks reaching close to or above 9,000 feet, and multiple alpine lakes-definitely a good find and a place to which I will definitely return.
